Hey, worker bees, grab your honey and chill this Labor Day weekend. From fireworks and ferry rides to ski shows and starlight concerts, we've got plenty of ways to get you out of the hive, buzzing around and having some end-of-summer fun.

Get a big bang out of Celebrate Oldsmar, held from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday at R.E. Olds Park, 107 Shore Drive W. It's followed by a 20-minute fireworks display.

Get there early and lay claim to a spot on the grass while enjoying the music of the Black Honkeys (a '70s, '80s and '90s band) from 6 to 9 p.m. Meanwhile, the little ones can intermingle on the inflatables, ride ponies or catch a tiny train.

You won't have to labor long to pay for dinner either. Hot dogs and hamburgers are $1 apiece. Ice cream and cold drinks will be available.

Bring lawn chairs and blankets.

mCruise to Caladesi

While many will choose to bid adieu to summer on crowded beaches, you can still enjoy the beautiful — and undisturbed — white sands of Caladesi Island via a 15- to 20-minute ferry ride to the barrier island.

Tower Lake is at 130 Burbank Road near the Oldsmar Flea Market. From Tampa Road, take Racetrack Road north to Douglas, turn left and turn left again into the ski site entrance. Bleacher seating is provided with grassy areas for lawn chairs and blankets. Concessions available too.

Call (727) 480-9365 or (813) 917-8354.

Starlight Concerts

What could be better than you and Fido sitting under the stars, enjoying sweet music together. Nielsen Starlight Concerts take place at 7 p.m. every Friday in September at Highlander Park, 1920 Pinehurst Road in Dunedin.
